Both are listed on their plans. - **Several people publish.** Unlimited team members are listed from Growth; Relnotely is one login. - **You publish in more than one language,** listed from Scale. - **You want comments, reactions and analytics** on posts, all listed on their plans. - **You qualify for their startup discount,** which their pricing page describes as 50% off for 12 months. ## Our view Opinion, not a claim about AnnounceKit: we think a changelog on your own address, without another company's name on it, is the base case rather than an upgrade — so both are in the $19 plan and we do not sell a way to remove a badge, because we do not put one there. If you need the roadmap, the segmentation and the rest of the suite, that is a different product to the one we are building. ## Moving from AnnounceKit Point Relnotely's importer at your existing changelog feed, or upload a CSV, read the preview of every entry with its date and tag, then import. Nothing is emailed, duplicates are skipped, and previewing costs nothing. ## Questions **What does AnnounceKit cost?** As of 20 September 2026 their pricing page listed Essentials at $79 a month, Growth at $129 a month, Scale at $339 a month billed annually, and a custom-priced Enterprise plan, with a 15-day trial and 15% off annual billing.
